Cell type-specific neuromodulation using MMG. Credit: Nature Nanotechnology (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41565-024-01694-2 Researchers at the Nanomedicine Center of the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) and Yonsei University in South Korea have demonstrated a technique that uses magnetic fields to manipulate specific areas of the brain, potentially unlocking the secrets of higher brain functions such as cognition, emotion and motivation. The research team developed the world’s first technology, called Nano-MIND (Magnetogenetic Interface for NeuroDynamics), which uses magnets to wirelessly and remotely tune specific deep-brain neural circuits precisely. The research is published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology. The human brain contains over 100…

Naas Technology’s NAAS short float percentage has decreased by 16.46% since the last report. The company recently reported short selling 71,000 shares, which represents 0.66% of all available common shares. Based on the company’s trading volume, it takes traders an average of 1.0 days to liquidate their short positions.Why short selling is importantShort interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but not yet covered or settled. Short selling occurs when a trader sells shares of a company that they do not own in the hope that the price will fall. Traders make a profit from shorting…

The demonstration, led by EOS Project Engineering Lead Ian Hilton-Cowie and the EOS Defence Systems Titanis team, highlighted the Laser Dazzler’s potential as part of a counter-drone solution. Integrated into the company’s Slinger counter-drone system, the Laser Dazzler effectively demonstrated the ability to use a non-lethal, unmanned aircraft laser to degrade, disable or destroy the electro-optical sensors of a typical UAS.Andreas Schwer, Group CEO at Electro Optic Systems, said: “EOS has established itself as a pioneer in laser dazzling technology and was the first to successfully integrate this technology into a remote weapon system. With the success of our Slinger…

Quinas Technology, a startup from British semiconductor company IQE, has raised funding to begin mass production of its cutting-edge UltraRAM memory. UltraRAM leverages the capabilities of DRAM and NAND to take memory performance to new levels UltraRAM is a memory technology developed by experts from Lancaster University and Warwick University in the UK. It leverages the advantages of DRAM and NAND standards to create high-end products. According to Quinas Technology, UltraRAM has a much longer data retention capacity than traditional solutions, enduring up to 10 million rewrite cycles. What’s more, the standard can retain data for over 1,000 years without…

BUSAN, South Korea — NASA’s head of space technology is leaving the agency just six months after taking the job, and the director of Langley Research Center will take over on an interim basis. NASA announced on July 16 that its associate administrator for space technology, Kurt “Spazz” Vogel, is retiring effective immediately. The announcement did not give a reason for his departure. “I thank Dr. Vogel for his contributions to NASA and wish him the best in his future endeavors,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in a statement announcing the transition. Vogel became deputy administrator for the Space Technology…

MARQUETTE, Mich. (WJMN) — As summer heat draws people to the beach, one device is helping to save lives. Four new warning towers purchased from SwimSmart Technology will soon be part of an effort to keep beachgoers safe by informing them of current water conditions at Marquette’s most popular beaches. Similar to the old flag system, the new towers will have green, yellow, red and double red lights to inform bathers of current water conditions based on wind speed and wave height. Green lights indicate safe swimming areas, yellow lights indicate a water advisory and when the red light is…

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WXYZ) — New technology is coming to Oakland County to help drivers be safer on the roads.If there are police, pedestrians, construction works, etc. ahead, you will be warned in advance.”So this technology really helps improve awareness,” said Erin Milligan, CEO of P3Mobility. “This infrastructure can communicate information to the vehicle and the driver and warn them about things that they may not be able to see ahead.” AD The project conducted its first human-driven tests on Tuesday at Lawrence Technological University in Michigan, and is expected to be tested on Oakland County roads soon.Milligan said he believes…

CARL JUNCTION, Mo. — Technology helps us wake up in the morning, helps us plan our day and also allows us to instantly connect with thousands of people on social media. “Ten years ago, this technology didn’t exist,” said Jared Richmond, CJ R-1 transportation director. It makes planning bus routes and figuring out which students get off where very difficult. “If your child is supposed to be dropped off at your house and they’re not there, mom or dad will immediately panic and try to figure out where your child is. This way we can cut down on that and…

Hello everyone, I’m writing to you today from Deer Valley, Utah, where Fortune is hosting its Brainstorm Tech conference. Not surprisingly, AI is a major theme at the event. Here’s a summary of the key information about AI presented so far: In an interview with Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President Mary Daly on Monday, my colleague Emma Hinchliffe said that generative AI’s impact on the labor market will depend on how the technology is used. Daly said that we can expect generative AI to contribute at least to average productivity gains, which are currently 1.5% per year. But…
